- Are there any good small (~50k subscribers) reddit subs that are good for questions about clothing/fashion? I only know about the gigantic subs with 1+ million subscribers. Posting there is always a total waste of time. Plus all the rules and bots are annoying as fuck.

affordablecolorful long-sleeve equivalents of what Old Navy calls camp shirts. Suggestions?
Short-Sleeve Camp Shirt | Old Navy

Edit 1
About once every couple years - I get a hankering for a colorful long-sleeved shirts. But then I google and google and google and google and I learn that only odd-ball clothing firms sell a few versions and they cost a king’s ransom.
Edit 2
I had to remove the word “affordable”. I can’t expect miracles - long-sleeved versions are rare. I’d be willing to go up to $100. And beyond - maybe?
Are you asking about shirts with a similar print (florals and other fun stuff) or similar shirt (boxy body, camp collar, materials [linen and linen blends])?
I feel like you might be able to find linen shirts with long sleeves (often with a point collar or band collar), but the camp shirt with the camp collar like that (similar to an aloha shirt) is going to be really uncommon in long sleeve

I’ll edit my post.
If you edit your post, maybe include a budget for the shirt you’re looking for. It really helps to know how much someone wants to spend when making a recommendation.
I used to be big on colorful print shirts (often floral or paisley), but just I’m in a different era for my clothes now.
It might be outside of your budget, but I had a few from Ben Sherman, Fred Perry, and JCrew that were quite nice. Fun prints tend to cost more, unfortunately. You might be able to snag something on sale or used (from Grailed or Depop or whatever) for a better price.
DiscoPosting had quite a lot of good advice. One thing I’ll add is that when you’re buying long sleeves from Asian brands, double check the sleeve lengths (especially if you have long arms) as they can be a bit shorter than one might expect.
Thanks. A long-sleeved shirt that’s too short always looks silly and that’s exactly the sort of mistake I’d make. “My shirt is here!” And then soon “Oh, fuck!..”
I’ll edit it again.
JCrew has a handful of long sleeve floral prints on sale. Tag price is ~$90 and it was showing 40% plus and additional %15 off. Granted, they’re more of a smaller floral print, which might not be exactly what you’re looking for.
For the more expensive stuff, I would make a wishlist to keep an eye on the things you like and wait for a sale. Patience is a big thing for buying nice clothes on a budget.
I can afford to spend more. But I hate buying something and having it rarely (or never) leave my closet. I might buy an Old Navy (or similar) short sleeved shirt just to be certain I want a long-sleeve.
